Little House on the Prairie

Little House on the Prairie was a television series that aired on NBC from September 11, 1974 to March 21, 1983 and was created by Michael Landon. It was based in Walnut Grove, although the Ingalls family lived in Plum Creek, the town was often a center location for episodes, and was founded by Lars Hanson.

It was based on the series of books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Many new characters, and different situations were added to the show. The theme of the song, titled "The Little House" was written and conducted by David Rose. Little House won ten awards (including cast awards, young artist, etc.) throughout it's run on television.

The show was largely filmed at Big Sky Ranch in Simi Valley, California. In the book series, the Ingalls move frequently, in the show, they only move twice. To Gold Country, and later to Winnoka, both times them move back to Walnut Grove and remain there until the ninth season, Little House: A New Beginning.

The tenth season of the show consisted of three television movies; in the final movie, the town was blown up.
